Inspiration: As students, we often go through emotional highs and lows. Mood Mirror was born out of the need for a gentle, private space to process feelings — without judgment. It's like a friend in your pocket.

What it does: Mood Mirror lets users:

  • Select their mood (Happy, Sad, Angry, Focused)
  • Get AI-generated kind suggestions
  • Journal their thoughts
  • View illustrations and calming content

How we built it:

  • Designed UI/UX using Figma
  • Developed using React Native with Expo
  • Navigation handled by React Navigation
  • AI responses powered by a mock of ChatGPT-style prompts
  • Illustrations added to improve emotional impact

Challenges:

  • First time building a mobile app from scratch
  • Learned how to use navigation and image assets in React Native
  • Managing folder structure and assets correctly
  • Planning for future AI and Firebase integration

What we learned:

  • Building UI with React Native components
  • Connecting screens via navigation
  • Structuring a mobile project for teamwork
  • How small design choices impact mental wellness apps

What's next:

  • Add Firebase backend to store journal entries
  • Integrate real ChatGPT API for smarter suggestions
  • Add mood history via calendar
